About Brent + Alfredo
Travel demand experience for independent properties.
Brent Manning has worked inside Expedia and with travel and hospitality brands including Crystalbrook, Ovolo, Hyatt, and Lonely Planet. Alfredo has run Amazon Ads and PPC for large ecommerce brands, including Lamborghini, Victorinox, and Swarovski.
How this works
Plain commercial work for owners who feel OTA fees every month.
You need to know where direct demand leaks, what to fix first, and whether the upside justifies the work.
The work starts with a short audit. Brent and Alfredo map the fastest path across owned discovery, Amazon Ads-style paid discipline, PPC, display, and retargeting.
The goal stays clear: more booked nights you own, less dependency on channels charging commission on your best inventory.
